Prima luna Owners - What Speakers are you using

Hey Brad. Late to the discussion but here's my $0.02. I have a PrimaLuna Prologue Three paired with CODA Technologies 10.5r amplifier, Manley Labs Chinook phono stage, and Pro-Ject Debut III with Ortofon OM40 MM cartridge. The speakers are 1980 vintage Advent Loudspeakers in walnut finish. I replaced the stock PL tubes with NOS from Vintage Tube Services. Andy guided me all the way - great guy with incredible knowledge about tubes.

Late to the conversation, but I have a Prima Luna CD player going into a Dialogue Premium Integrated Amp with KT120 tubes, driving a pair of Martin Logan EM-ESL electrostatic speakers, coupled with an SVS SB13-Ultra sub. It pulls me down to the couch every time. Have about 100 hours on them all and they are sounding seriously good.

Hey Boccaccio,

Is the PL CD player worth the $3k?

Thanks,

Rich

In my opinion, yes. I find that the PL CD player has a real leading edge transient detail sound, keeping the drums and staccatto instrument groups dead center ( without sounding stiff or sloppy)
It has great low level retrieval, so the reverb trails off into total blackness.
I am running the CD player into a Prima Luna Dialogue premium amp, so the whole might be greater than the sum of its parts
I also upgraded my amp to TungSol KT120's, which improved pace.

I have a Dialogue 2 with all NOS Mullard and GE front end tubes, and various power tubes. Audio Electronics phono pre with all NOS tubes, VPI Scout1.1 with Soundsmith Zephyr, and Martin Logan Electro ESLs, and the amp speaker combo sounds great, but the tubes, and a Running Springs Haley power conditioner have a lot to do with it also, and cables and interconnects. But the amp has no problem at all driving the speakers to needed volumes, with clarity.
